I guess it does look a little odd but there is heaps of the post in the frame so it is all good there. I am just. Under 6'2" tall and it is a great fit for me. The top tube feels a little shorter than the extra large 575 but it feels so good.

I did take it for a good two hour ride today with the seat in the raised position and it is not cramped at all.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Nice! I didnt' even know the 2012 Enduro Sworks came in that colour, I just picked up my white/black 2012 S-works Enduro last week and gotta say, feels good man, haha.

Since Gwin rides Specialized I feel extra special now.

It looks like when you drop the post it would be at normal height is all!

haha i have the same problem, being 6'4" means you need a hella long post! i think i need about 880mm from bb to saddle....

trick is to take pics with the dropper down to not scare people

I was told it was the only one in the country in this colour as it was a special order when the frame was orded but I could be wrong.

Some times it feels a little rare to have another member whomever likes and owns a S-Works.

Hope you love your new bike too lets face it you love it!!

haha of course, how could you not love this bike, mines a little bit heavier with the 2x10 and flats but in future I will probably go down the 1x10 path. Waiting on my dropper post to arrive before I start my own little thread :p

Have only had one ride on it on mostly XC/Trail stuff which it smashed but really wanna push it on some more aggressive stuff when I get a chance :bounce:

Was almost set on a stumpy EVO but glad I went the Enduro, don't feel like it gives up much at all on the climbs but the 36s on the down feels like im riding on a cloud haha. :Banane17:

No Tristan did not ride it enough at all. I have had a chance to have the enduro out a couple of times now and the forks along with the rest of the bike is unbelievable.
Soakes up the big bumps push into the burns and climbs back up the hills to do it all over again.

Best bike ever!!
